broke the silence today for the first
time since his arrival in London.
Speaking to newspaper men at a meet meeting

FLORIDA CROP PROSPECTS
Gainesville, July 14. Crop pros
pects over the state were irregular ou
July L according to the report of the
federal "bureau of markets and crop
estimates here on conditions during
the mont hof June. The report, pre prepared
pared prepared by Sam T. Fleming," statistician
of the bureau,' declared citrus fruits
were improving and that indications
on July 1 were for increased produc
tion of rice, peanuts, peas and le legumes
gumes legumes geenrally with a decrease in
corn, cotton, tobacco and most of the
other staple crops.
The citrus' crops are recovering
from the critical condition caused by
dry weather in May and June, says
the report. Grapefruit especially,
when comnared with the condition of
former years, promises a heavier
yield than usual. Oranges are not up
to the usual condition but did improve
during June and the pessimistic feel
ing of growers earlier in .the season
as regards production has shifted now
to the question of transportation and
rates."" No reliable' estimate of pro
duction for the citrus crops can be
made this early because conditions
during the next six weeks or two
months will determine largely the size
of the crop. Prospects for a good
yield, however, are better now than
earlier in the season.
There has been some shifting ot
acreages in the staple crops but grow growing
ing growing conditions indicate production will
not be in line with such changes. Corn,
with an increase of about forty thou
sand acres over last year promises a
lower production because of the dam
age to early plantings from dry
weather. The bulk of the production
will come from the late plantings.
Cotton, on a greatly decreased
acreage, promises low yields and de
creased production.
Tobacco, with an increase of five
per cent in acreage, and a perfect
stand which gave early indications of
unusually heavy yields, was seriously
affetced by, the dry weather in May
and June and production was further
curtailed by damage and losses from
rains .at harvest time.
The rice acreaee is fully 25 per
cent greater than in 1920, due to ex
tensive plantings in one or two locali localities.
ties. localities. The acreage already "planted to
sweet potatoes, peanuts'-and hay crops
is smaller than last year but planting
has been delayed by dry weather and
late plantings, extending through
July and part of August, may offset
these decreases.
The condition of honeybees over the
state: on July 1 was excellent so far
as' strength of colonies and healthful healthful-ness
ness healthful-ness was concerned, the bureau states.
The average yield of surplus honey
per colony to that date was 35 pounds
as compared with an average for the
United States of 23.7 pounds. Much
higher yields would have been made
under more favorable conditions but
rainy weather during the heaviest
flow through the Tupeto section of
West Florida and dry weather with
extensive burning of the woods earlier
in the year over the state as a whole

Tampa, July 14. The, statistician
of the Tampa Tribune, with a report
before him on the carload shipments
of citrus fruit from Florida during

Pelham A. Barrows, national com commander
mander commander of the Sons of Veterans is not
much to be blamed if he went off half half-cocked
cocked half-cocked and sent a letter to President
Harding, asking him to have the of offending
fending offending statue torn down. Comrade
Barrows might, however,' have waited
a few days and fully informed him himself.
self. himself. And it was useless to write to
the president, for if the people of
Troy had the bad taste to allow one
of their public places to be so dese desecrated
crated desecrated it is beyond the power of those
outside their city limits to remove it.
Troy, however, is a loyal town one
where little pools of sectionalism left;
from the sixties vanished forever,
under the mighty wave of American Americanism
ism Americanism that arose in 1917.
The story of this statue has-been
told us by people now living here, but
who know Troy. In the days immed immediately
iately immediately after our great civil war, when
sectional hatred was yet intense,
one man whose judgment was pervert perverted
ed perverted with bitterness had a statue made
of John Wilkes Booth and offered it to
the city, which even then, in the
scarcely lessening heat of the recent
conflict, had the wisdom to refuse it.
The man took his statue and set it
up elsewhere. It was but a small
figure, and its puny size and obscure
place soon caused it to be forgotten,
or remembered only in a casual way
as the freak of an embittered old
man. Few of those who have lived in
or visited' Troy during the last score
of years knew it was there, and most
of those who saw it didn't know what
it was.
Those who may have the idea that
the South has or ever had the disposi disposition
tion disposition to erect statues to John Wilkes
Booth should rid themselves of that
opinion. Booth was not in the South
ern army, and he made no sacrifice for
the South. His crime 'was the result
of a mixture of egotism and insanity,
and his only defense is that he had not
sense enough to know what he was
doing. And we never heard a South
erner pay him any higher compliment
than to call him a fool.
. And he was a fool, for he struck
down the South's most powerful friend
at the time she needed him most. Our
best and wisest men realized this at
once. It is true that during the war
and for some time after, the South
had the same hatred of Lincoln that
any people will have for the chief of
any other people with whom they are
at war. But it did not take long for
this feeling to pass and for the South
to realize that the nation had lost the
chief of those who were inclined to be
generous and just and who would
doubtless have saved her most of the
humiliations that left far more bitter bitterness
ness bitterness than can be caused by honorable
warfare.

Quite a heavy slam at both the la laboring

cloth to present to the conquerors. A
head Is carried suspended from the
conqueror's neck until It Is taken from
him by a woman, who gives him a
piece of cloth to wear instead, pos-'
sibly as a badge of hereism. It makes
no difference whether this service is
performed by his wife, by another
woman or by another man's wife.
Heads are then hung from a beam in

are returned to the women. The head

KNEW USE OF MOSQUITO NETS
Abundant Proof That the Ancients
Used Them to Foil the Attacks
of the Pests.
According to CoL Sir .Patrick Hehlr,
a physician, who has traveled about
India, lecturing to the people about
malaria, mosquito nets are by no
means a modern invention.' He quotes
Herodotus, who, writing of the Egypt Egyptians
ians Egyptians who dwelt on the, banks of lakes,
rivers and marshes, says:
"Every man has a net with which
In the day he takes fish and at night

around It, and then, getting In, sleeps
under it. If he should wrap himself
op In his clothes or In linen the
mosquitoes would bite through them,
but they never bite through the net."
The Romans called the mosquito net
a conopeum. It Is spoken of by Varro,
Horace, Juvenal. Propertlus and IJaul IJaul-us

"At least let me hear how you get
along," she added, and there was a
tremor in her voice that inspired me
with the Idea that I had one sterling
friend In the world.
So I promised .her, and went on my
way. I remembered all about that
missing antique ring. In fact, I knew
the man who had stolen it. At least
I thought I did.
I am not much of a story teller, but
to look ahead a little, my hard think thinking
ing thinking assured me that I might make a
good detective.
My first step was to go to the Jewel Jewelers'
ers' Jewelers' Board of Trade. That was where
they kept the records of the trade, and
I kjiew mine would follow me. The
secretary was a bland, bright-eyed old
man. I told my story. I also recited
my suspicions. I could see that he
was becoming interested in me.
"Tou think the man who palmed the'
missing antique ring today Is a pro professional,

"I am certain of It."
"See here," said the secretary, "I
like your talk. Nobody thinks of sus suspecting,

become an every-day event. I want
to say this, however: If you succeed
in running down the gang who are
guilty of these systematic peculations,
the Jewelers' Board of Trade will pay
you a reward of one thousand dollars."
I struck my quarry the third day.

was chewing gum.

The fashionably dressed woman was

proceeded to eat an ..apple. She asked
to be shown some other gems. Hsr

saw the woman take her gum from her
mouth. Then the man tossed the core
of the apple into the street, and came
back to the side of his companion.

the clerk firmly.

Unsolved Mystery of Nature.
The exact principle which causes a
magnet to take hold of metals and
cling to them with a free which over overcomes
comes overcomes the principle of gravity is, like
electricity, one of Nature's unsolved
mysteries, the Detroit News remarks.
It is merely known that a- piece of Iron
which has been electrically treated
will attract and hold various other
metals. The force it exerts is called
"magnetism." I
The most logical explanation would
appear to be that an electrically-treated
piece of Iron gives off a force
analogous to that given off by radium.
In that It will affect other pieces of
metal without materially lessening Its
own power.
The name "magnet" Is derived from
the mineral "magnetite." This, In
turn, is so called because It was first
discovered in Magnesia. Magnetite Is
a natural, magnet, of which lodestone
is one of the best known varieties.

newlyweds, we decided to outwit them
by boarding the train at the water

platform, and then discovered to our
dismay that the rear door was locked!

Bread to Clean .Watches.
There is no more novel use to which
bread Is put than that in vogue in
some of the great watch factories
where more than forty loaves of fresh
bread were used dally In pre-war times.
From the early days of watchmak
ing fresh bread has been reduced tp
dough which Is used in removing on
and chips adhering to the minute parts
of the watch. Since many of these
parts are barely visible to the naked
eye the oil is absorbed by the dough
while the chips stick to it. There Is
no other known substance that wipes
the parts without leaving some par particles
ticles particles attached to them. Hence, "sjar
of life" is used.
